"Once again this series touches on manners children should have, this time in the most important place...school!!!! This would be a great intro book for the first day/week of class. Teacher could have an activity that makes a compare and contrast list (on whiteboard) before and then after reading the book to help students come up with classroom procedures. Using this book and others that portray proper manners and behavior for the classroom would be utilized. High interest book for boys, who are, let's face it, a major portion of the disruptions and behavior problems in the classroom."

— Scott (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “Yolen’s short, rhyming text…perfectly convey[s] how dinosaurs could behave in school, large and powerful though they may be. Fans of the other titles in the series will welcome this new lesson on how to behave properly yet manage to remain a true dinosaur.”

    " It would be fun to read other How Do Dinosaurs books written by Jane Yolen before or after reading this one. Students could discuss the similarities and differences between the books. Also, it might be fun to have students write their own version of the story by picking a different animal to write about. "

    " This is a very cute book for explaining the do's and do not's of behavior in school. I would definiately introduce this book on the first day of school. It could be used to teach proper school behavior to kindergarten students, or it could serve as a reminder for older students. The book talks about the do not's in question form and the do's in the form of statements. The book explains not only what student should not do but also what they should be doing. Awesome! "
